Abstract: Functional diagnosis of a vehicle component of a vehicle in production involves a vehicle-external first computing unit generating a diagnosis execution protocol. The diagnosis execution protocol includes machine-readable instructions for performing an at least semi-automated functional diagnosis of vehicle components by an in-vehicle computing unit. The diagnosis execution protocol is transferred to the in-vehicle computing unit of the vehicle in production. The diagnosis execution protocol is executed by the in-vehicle computing unit. The in-vehicle computing unit controls a vehicle component to check for correct functioning of the vehicle component. The response behavior of the vehicle component is captured automatedly by the in-vehicle computing unit or with manual assistance by a person supervising the production of the vehicle. The captured response behavior is output to the first computing unit external to the vehicle or a second computing unit external to the vehicle.
